Recommended Posts

Just upgraded to Cox's 15Mbps service.  I am getting speeds that are unbelievably bad.  Here are my stats.  I am running at only 4.97 % of your hosts average (cox.net)  Can someone please help me??  Thanks 

1) Windows XP Service Pack 2, latest updates, and installed p2p fix for SP2

2) ISP is Cox with 15Mbps service

3) Cablenut and VanBuren installed, results from dslreports.com

4) Also did these tests:

I am getting good results now. I have tweaked with Cablenut and VanBurens settings.  I used the settings for cable 5000/768 I believe.  At least I think that was it.  I had actually posted my Help message in the Make it Faster section too because I was confused as to where the best place to post would be.  If you want to move this over that would be great.  Thanks swimmer.
